Wedderspoon Monofloral Manuka Honey KFactor 16, Unpasteurised New Zealand Manuka Honey, 340g

Wedderspoon Monofloral Manuka Honey KFactor 16 Details

Unpasteurised monofloral manuka honey from New Zealand at KFactor 16, in a 340g container. One ingredient.

Monofloral is the designation worth understanding. It means the honey is predominantly from a single floral source — manuka — rather than a blend in which manuka is one contributor. Multifloral manuka is still genuine manuka; it simply carries less of it. New Zealand's MPI maintains the testing standard separating the two.

KFactor is Wedderspoon's own rating, and it is not the same as the MGO or UMF numbers other brands print. It measures pollen count and authenticity — whether the honey is genuinely manuka from the region claimed — rather than methylglyoxal concentration. A higher KFactor means more manuka pollen, not more MGO. Do not compare KFactor against UMF as though they were one scale.

The honey is raw and unpasteurised. Commercial honey is heated and filtered to stay clear on a shelf; skipping that keeps enzymes, pollen and texture intact but means it will crystallise. Crystallisation is a sign it has not been over-processed, not a fault.

Manuka comes from bees foraging Leptospermum scoparium, which flowers for a few weeks a year in a limited part of New Zealand. The flavour is darker and more caramel-and-mineral than a floral honey.

Wedderspoon is a Canadian-founded company sourcing its honey from New Zealand's manuka bush. KFactor is Wedderspoon's own rating system, based on pollen count and authenticity testing rather than the MGO or UMF scales other brands use.

Who Wedderspoon Monofloral Manuka Honey KFactor 16 Is For

This suits anyone who specifically wants the monofloral designation rather than a general manuka, and anyone buying manuka for a particular purpose rather than as a daily sweetener. The 340g size sits between the 250g and 500g in the standard KFactor 16 range.

Never give honey to an infant under 12 months. Honey can carry Clostridium botulinum spores that an infant gut cannot defend against, and infant botulism is a serious illness. Honey is a bee product, so it is not vegan and is unsuitable for anyone with an allergy to bees, bee products or pollen. It is roughly 80% sugar — treat it as a sweetener if you are managing blood glucose.
